Abstract

COVID 19 Pandemic started in December 2019, and reached India during March 2020, and caused a panic among cancer patient and oncology health workers. CDC gave few guidelines to continue Radiation Therapy. We followed these guidelines alongwith precautionary measures and treated about 50 pateints per day during Lockdown period. Extreme care and precaution helped us in treating all patients and helped all staff to protect from COVID infection and cancer patient by preventing transmission.
